Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Anheben und Absenken eines Daches eines Nutzfahrzeugs, wobei die Vorrichtung teleskopierbare Rungen umfasst, auf denen das Dach abstützbar ist, mit den im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a device for raising and lowering a roof of a commercial vehicle, wherein the device comprises telescopic stanchions on which the roof can be supported, with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Eine solche Vorrichtung ist aus der EP 1 637 375 A bekannt. In einer Runge, die mit einem Hebelmechanismus zum Anheben und Absenken eines das Fahrzeugdach stützenden und in der Runge geführten Hubelements versehen ist, ist in unterschiedlichen Höhen ein als U-förmige Gabel gestaltetes Arretierelement festlegbar. Um bei einem Absenken des Hubzylinders und damit des das Dach stützenden Hubelements als Anschlag bzw. untere Hubbegrenzung für das Hubelement zu dienen, wird das Arretierelement seitlich unter den Hubzylinder bewegt, und umfasst so U-förmig die nach unten aus dem Hubzylinder heraus ragende Kolbenstange.Such a device is from the EP 1 637 375 A known. In a Runge, which is provided with a lever mechanism for raising and lowering a vehicle roof supporting and guided in the stanchion lifting element, designed as a U-shaped fork locking element can be fixed at different heights. In order to serve as a stop or lower Hubbegrenzung for the lifting element at a lowering of the lifting cylinder and thus the roof supporting lifting element, the locking element is moved laterally under the lifting cylinder, and thus includes U-shaped down from the lifting cylinder protruding piston rod.

Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass es bei derartigen Vorrichtungen im oft rauen Alltagsbetrieb eines Nutzfahrzeuges zu Abnutzungserscheinungen im Kontaktbereich zwischen Arretierelement und Hubzylinder kommen kann.It has been found that in such devices in the often harsh everyday operation of a commercial vehicle to wear can occur in the contact area between the locking element and the lifting cylinder.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, mit der sich derartige Verschleißerscheinungen reduzieren lassen.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a device of the type mentioned, with which can reduce such wear.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe wird eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 vorgeschlagen.To solve the problem, a device with the features of claim 1 is proposed.

Dadurch, dass das Arretierelement vor einem Absenken des Zylinders nicht zunächst in einer seitlichen Bewegung unter den Zylinder bewegt werden muss, beispielsweise als Element einer klappbaren Kniehebeleinrichtung, wird es mit der Erfindung möglich, an Stelle eines gabelförmigen Arretierelements ein Arretierelement vorzusehen, welches die Kolbenstange auf vollem Umfang umschließt. Indem die Kolbenstange nicht nur U-förmig, sondern auf ihrem gesamten Umfang umschlossen wird, kann die Auflagefläche für das untere Ende des Zylinders, also im Bereich des Kolbenstangenaustritts, vergrößert werden. Der durch die von oben wirkende Dachlast hervorgerufene Flächendruck auf das Arretierelement wird reduziert und es wird vermieden, dass es zu einem ungewollten, stark abnutzenden seitlichen Eingriff des beim Stand der Technik gabelförmigen Arretierelements mit dem Zylinder kommt. Beim Stand der Technik kommt es vor allem dann zu diesem Verschleiß, wenn zum Zeitpunkt des Anschwenkens des Arretierelements der Zylinder der Hubeinrichtung noch nicht ausreichend weit angehoben wurde.Due to the fact that the locking element does not first have to be moved in a lateral movement under the cylinder before lowering the cylinder, for example as an element of a foldable toggle device, it is possible with the invention to provide a locking element instead of a fork-shaped locking element which engages the piston rod encloses in full. By the piston rod not only U-shaped, but up is enclosed around its entire circumference, the bearing surface for the lower end of the cylinder, ie in the region of the piston rod outlet, can be increased. The surface pressure on the locking element caused by the roof load acting from above is reduced and it is avoided that there is an undesired, severely wearing lateral engagement of the locking element of the prior art with the cylinder. In the prior art, it comes to this wear especially if at the time of pivoting of the locking member of the cylinder of the lifting device has not been raised sufficiently far.

Mit einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung wird vorgeschlagen, dass das Arretierelement um eine Achse quer zu der Längsachse der Kolben- und Zylindereinheit schwenkbar ist.With a preferred embodiment of the device is proposed that the locking element is pivotable about an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the piston and cylinder unit.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass das Arretierelement relativ verschiebbar zu der Kolbenstange an dieser ist. So wird ermöglicht, dass das Arretierelement das Hubelement in verschiedenen Höhenpositionen fixieren kann.According to a further embodiment, it is provided that the locking element is relatively displaceable relative to the piston rod at this. This makes it possible that the locking element can fix the lifting element in different height positions.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist das Arretierelement als Arretierblock mit einer Durchgangsöffnung zur Hindurchführung der Kolbenstange ausgestaltet. Dies ermöglicht es, das bei einem Absenkvorgang des Daches durch eine Relativbewegung des Kolbens und des Zylinders die Last über das untere Ende des Zylinders, dem Kolbenstangenaustritt, über einem stabil geformtes Bauteil auf das Trägerprofil weitergeleitet wird. Die Last kann dabei auf dem kompletten Umfang, d. h. 360° der Durchgangsöffnung und damit sehr gleichmäßig aufgenommen werden.According to a further embodiment, the locking element is designed as a locking block with a passage opening for the passage of the piston rod. This makes it possible, in a lowering operation of the roof by a relative movement of the piston and the cylinder, the load via the lower end of the cylinder, the piston rod outlet, is forwarded via a stably shaped component on the carrier profile. The load can be on the entire circumference, d. H. 360 ° of the passage opening and thus be absorbed very evenly.

Von Vorteil ist es, wenn das Arretierelement auf einer im Wesentlichen parallel zu der Durchgangsöffnung verlaufenden Seiten zumindest einen Arretiervorsprung zum formschlüssigen Eingriff in eine der Positionen am Trägerprofil aufweist.It is advantageous if the locking element has, on a side extending substantially parallel to the passage opening, at least one locking projection for positive engagement in one of the positions on the carrier profile.

Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausgestaltung bei der die Durchgangsöffnung zumindest im Bereich einer der zu der Durchgangsöffnung im Wesentlichen senkrecht verlaufenden Stirnseiten des Arretierblocks in Richtung seiner Schwenkbarkeit ein größeres Maß als der Durchmesser der Kolbenstange aufweist, wobei der Betrag der Vergrößerung größer ist als die Eingriffstiefe des Arretiervorsprungs. Erst ein derart vergrößertes Maß ermöglicht es, dass der Arretierblock zum Arretieren durch ein einfaches Schwenken um die Achse quer zu der Achse der Kolben- und Zylindereinheit und somit auf die Positionen des Trägerprofils zu oder von ihnen weg, mit den zur Auswahl stehenden Höhenpositionen in Eingriff gebracht werden kann, und dass umgekehrt dieser Eingriff für eine andere Höheneinstellung des Arretierblocks gelöst werden kann.Particularly preferred is an embodiment in which the passage opening at least in the region of one of the passage opening substantially perpendicularly extending end sides of the Arretierblocks in the direction of its pivotability has a greater degree than the diameter of the piston rod, wherein the amount of enlargement is greater than the engagement depth of the Arretiervorsprungs , Only such an increased degree allows the locking block to engage with the available height positions by simply pivoting about the axis transverse to the axis of the piston and cylinder unit and thus to the positions of the beam profile to or from them to be brought can, and conversely, this engagement for a different height adjustment of the locking block can be solved.

Von besonderem Vorteil für eine einfache und kostengünstige Fertigung sind die längs des Trägerprofils angeordneten Positionen als Stanzöffnungen auf dessen rückwärtiger Seite ausgestaltet.Of particular advantage for a simple and cost-effective production arranged along the carrier profile positions are designed as punched openings on the rear side.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung weist das Arretierelement an seiner dem Zylinder zugewendeten Stirnseite eine Mulde zur Anlage des den Austritt der Kolbenstange umgebenden unteren Endes des Zylinders auf. Durch die vorzugsweise an die Kontur des unteren Endes des Zylinders angepasste Mulde kann die Anlagefläche des Zylinders auf dem Arretierelement weiter vergrößert werden, was zu einer geringeren flächenbezogenen Belastung führt. Ebenfalls können, da das Zylinderende in der Mulde aufliegt und ein wenig in das Arretierelement eingreift, die beispielsweise bei Bremsungen auftretenden seitlichen Kräfte besser aufgenommen werden.According to a further embodiment, the locking element on its end facing the cylinder on a trough for conditioning of the outlet of the piston rod surrounding the lower end of the cylinder. By preferably adapted to the contour of the lower end of the cylinder recess, the contact surface of the cylinder can be further increased on the locking element, resulting in a lower area-related load. Also, since the cylinder end rests in the trough and engages a little in the locking element, the lateral forces occurring for example during braking are better absorbed.

Von Vorteil für eine einfache Bedienbarkeit der Vorrichtung ist, wenn das Arretierelement an seinem dem Zylinder abgewendeten Ende zum Zwecke des manuellen Ergreifens und Verschwenkens eine Handhabe aufweist. Diese Handhabe ist vorzugsweise an der unteren, dem Benutzer zugewandten Seite der unteren Stirnseite angeordnet und vereinfacht bei der in der Regel manuellen Höhenverstellung das Schwenken des Arretierelements.An advantage for ease of use of the device is when the locking element has at its end facing away from the cylinder for the purpose of manual gripping and pivoting a handle. This handle is preferably arranged on the lower, the user-facing side of the lower end face and simplifies in the usually manual height adjustment, the pivoting of the locking element.

Ebenfalls für eine anwenderfreundliche Bedienung weist bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform das Arretierelement ein Federelement auf, welches das Arretierelement dauerhaft in Richtung zu den Positionen hin beaufschlagt, und welches gleichzeitig ein Reibglied zwischen dem Arretierelement und der Kolbenstange bildet. Wird das Arretierelement nach einer Höhenverstellung durch den Benutzer wieder losgelassen kann es zum Eingriff in eine der Positionen durch die Federkraft automatisch in deren Richtung schwenken. Ferner verhindert das Federelement als gleichzeitiges Reibglied, dass das Arretierelement zu weit auf der Kolbenstange abrutscht, es erschwert und damit dosiert also die Relativbewegung zwischen Arretierelement und Kolbenstange.Also, for a user-friendly operation, in a further embodiment, the locking element on a spring element, which acts on the locking element permanently towards the positions, and which simultaneously forms a friction member between the locking element and the piston rod. If the locking element is released again after a height adjustment by the user, it can automatically pivot in its direction for engagement in one of the positions by the spring force. Further prevents the spring element as a simultaneous friction member that the locking element slips too far on the piston rod, it complicates and thus doses the relative movement between the locking element and the piston rod.

Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Vorrichtung stützt ein Stützelement das Trägerprofil von unten her. Die auf das Arretierelement wirkende Last bzw. Anteile davon können über das Trägerprofil und das Stützelement auf das Gehäuseelement weitergeleitet werden. Eventuell lastempfindlichere Bauteile, wie z. B. das Hebellager können entlastet werden.In a further preferred embodiment of the device, a support element supports the carrier profile from below. The load or portions thereof acting on the locking element can be forwarded to the housing element via the carrier profile and the support element. Any more load-sensitive components, such. B. the lever bearing can be relieved.

Die Figur 1 zeigt von einem Nutzfahrzeugaufbau eine ein Fahrzeugdach tragende Runge 8 mit einer Kniehebeleinrichtung 10 in deren ausgeklappter Stellung. Die Kniehebeleinrichtung 10 weist an ihrem unteren Ende eine Handhabe 12 für den Schwenkhebel auf und ist an ihrem oberen Ende durch ein Hebellager 14 an einem Gehäuseelement 16 angelenkt. Das Gehäuseelement 16 ist der Grundkörper der Runge 8 und ist an oder in der Höhe der Ladefläche des Nutzfahrzeugs starr befestigt. In dem als stabiles, langgestrecktes C-Profil ausgebildeten Gehäuseelement 16 ist ein Hubelement 18 vertikal und daher teleskopartig geführt. Das Hubelement 18 trägt an seinem auf der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten oberen Ende das Dach des Fahrzeugaufbaus.The FIG. 1 shows from a commercial vehicle body a vehicle roof bearing Runge 8 with a toggle device 10 in its unfolded position. The toggle device 10 has at its lower end a handle 12 for the pivot lever and is hinged at its upper end by a lever bearing 14 on a housing element 16. The housing element 16 is the main body of the stanchion 8 and is rigidly attached to or at the level of the loading area of the commercial vehicle. In the designed as a stable, elongated C-profile housing member 16, a lifting element 18 is vertical and therefore guided telescopically. The lifting element 18 carries at its upper end, not shown in the drawing, the roof of the vehicle body.

Mittels einer Art Hin- und Herschwenken der Kniehebeleleinrichtung 10 kann das Hubelement 18 und damit das Fahrzeugdach angehoben werden, wobei sich das Hubelement 18 längs des Gehäuseelements 16 sukzessive nach oben bewegt. Eine mit Hydraulikflüssigkeit gefüllte Kolben- und Zylindereinheit 20 dient dabei dazu, die einmal erreichte Höhenposition des Hubelements 18 zu halten. Nach dem Be- oder Entladen des Fahrzeugs mit angehobenem Dach kann bei eingeklappter Kniehebeleinrichtung 10 über das Hubelement 18 unter Verkürzung der Runge 8 das Dach wieder abgesenkt werden, bis diese Absenkbewegung durch Anlage an einem nachfolgend noch beschriebenen Arretierelement 26 gestoppt wird.By means of a kind of swinging back and forth of the toggle lever device 10, the lifting element 18 and thus the vehicle roof can be raised, wherein the lifting element 18 moves along the housing member 16 successively upward. A filled with hydraulic fluid piston and cylinder unit 20 serves to hold the once reached height position of the lifting element 18. After loading or unloading of the vehicle with the roof raised, the roof can be lowered again with the knee lever device 10 folded over the lifting element 18 while shortening the stanchion 8, until it is folded Lowering movement is stopped by contact with a subsequently described locking member 26.

Die in Figur 2 gezeigte Detaildarstellung der Einzelheit "A" der Figur 1 zeigt innerhalb des durch das C-Profil des Gehäuseelements 16 eingefassten Hohlraumes den starr mit dem Hubelement 18 verbundenen Zylinder 22 der hydraulischen Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 20, sowie ferner die aus dem unteren Ende des Zylinders 22, also dem Kolbenstangenaustritt 45, austretende und an ihrem unteren Ende mit dem Gehäuseelement 16 der Runge verbundene Kolbenstange 24.In the FIG. 2 shown detailed representation of the detail "A" of FIG. 1 shows within the enclosed by the C-profile of the housing member 16 cavity rigidly connected to the lifting element 18 cylinder 22 of the hydraulic piston-cylinder unit 20, and further from the lower end of the cylinder 22, so the piston rod outlet 45, and exiting its lower end with the housing member 16 of the stanchion connected piston rod 24th

Das als etwa quaderförmiger Block ausgestaltete Arretierelement 26 weist entlang seiner Längsachse eine Durchgangsöffnung 28 (vgl. Figur 5) auf, durch welche die Kolbenstange 24 der Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit hindurchführt. Der Arretierblock 26 ist in der Stellung nach Figur 2 in einer bestimmten Position 29 gegenüber einem Trägerprofil 17 festgelegt, und stützt sich so an dem Trägerprofil 17 ab. Der Bereich des Zylinders 22 rund um den Austritt 45 der Kolbenstange 24 liegt in Ringform auf der oberen Stirnseite 30 des Arretierblocks 26 auf. Die Last des Zylinders 22, des Hubelements 18 sowie vor allem des Daches werden über diese Stirnseite 30 in den Arretierblock 26 eingeleitet, und von diesem über das Trägerprofil 17 und die Kniehebeleinrichtung 10 auf das Gehäuseelement 16 der Runge weitergeleitet.The locking element 26 designed as a block-shaped block has a passage opening 28 along its longitudinal axis (cf. FIG. 5 ), through which the piston rod 24 passes the piston-cylinder unit. The locking block 26 is in the position after FIG. 2 fixed in a specific position 29 relative to a carrier profile 17, and is supported on the carrier profile 17 from. The region of the cylinder 22 around the outlet 45 of the piston rod 24 rests in annular form on the upper end face 30 of the locking block 26. The load of the cylinder 22, the lifting element 18 and especially of the roof are introduced via this end face 30 in the locking block 26, and forwarded by this on the support section 17 and the toggle device 10 on the housing member 16 of the stanchion.

Die Figur 3 zeigt eine Draufsicht, aus der weitere Elemente deutlicher zu erkennen sind. Beispielsweise ein Betätigungselement 34 zum Entspannen der Kolben-Zylindereinheit ist bereits aus der DE 10 2010 037 553 A bekannt. Ein erstes Hebelglied 32 der Kniehebeleinrichtung 10 ist mit seinem in Fig. 3 erkennbaren unteren Ende schwenkbar an dem Trägerprofil 17 angelenkt, welches vertikal beweglich innerhalb der Runge 8 geführt ist. Das Trägerprofil 17 ist an seinem auf der Zeichnung nicht erkennbaren, oberen Ende in der Weise mit dem Hubelement 18 verbindbar, dass mit dem Anheben des Hebelglieds 32 und des damit gelenkig verbundenen Trägerprofils 17 zugleich auch das Hubelement 18, und damit das Dach des Fahrzeugs, angehoben wird. Durch Druck auf das am unteren Ende der Kolbenstange 24 angeordnete Betätigungselement 34 wird in der Kolben- und Zylindereinheit ein hydraulischer Überströmquerschnitt geöffnet. Dies hat zur Folge, dass sich mit dem Zylinder 22 das Hubelement 18 aus seiner angehobenen Stellung abgesenkt, bis sich das untere Ende des Zylinders 22, also rund um den Kolbenstangenaustritt 45, auf der oberen Stirnseite 30 des Arretierblocks 26 absetzt.The FIG. 3 shows a plan view from which further elements are clearly visible. For example, an actuator 34 for relaxing the piston-cylinder unit is already out of the DE 10 2010 037 553 A known. A first lever member 32 of the toggle device 10 is with his in Fig. 3 articulated lower end pivotally hinged to the support section 17, which is guided vertically movable within the stanchion 8. The carrier profile 17 is connectable at its not visible in the drawing, the upper end in the manner with the lifting element 18 that with the lifting of the lever member 32 and the hinged support member 17 at the same time also the lifting element 18, and thus the roof of the vehicle, is raised. By pressure on the arranged at the lower end of the piston rod 24 actuator 34, a hydraulic overflow is opened in the piston and cylinder unit. This has the consequence that with the cylinder 22, the lifting element 18 is lowered from its raised position until the lower end of the cylinder 22, ie around the piston rod outlet 45, settles on the upper end face 30 of the locking block 26.

Zur Veranschaulichung sind in Figur 4 im Vergleich zu Figur 3 sowohl der Zylinder 22, die Kolbenstange 24 als auch das Betätigungselement 34 darstellerisch entfernt. Horizontal verlaufende, die Positionen 29 bildende Stanzöffnungen 36 in der Rückwand des Trägerprofils 17 werden dadurch in Figur 4 sichtbar. Die Stanzöffnungen 36 bilden daher das mögliche Höhenraster für die Positionen 29, in die der Arretierblock 26 eingestellt werden kann.By way of illustration, in FIG. 4 compared to FIG. 3 both the cylinder 22, the piston rod 24 and the actuator 34 are illustratively removed. Horizontal extending, the positions 29 forming punch openings 36 in the rear wall of the carrier profile 17 are characterized in FIG. 4 visible, noticeable. The punched openings 36 therefore form the possible height grid for the positions 29, in which the locking block 26 can be adjusted.

Die seitlichen Schnittdarstellungen Figuren 5a bis 5e verdeutlichen bei einer zweiten Ausführungsform das Funktionsprinzip des Arretierblocks 26 durch eine schrittweise Darstellung einer Änderung der Position 29 des Arretierblocks 26. Die zweite Ausführungsform unterscheidet sich von der ersten Ausführungsform durch ein Stützelement 48, welches bei eingeklappter Kniehebeleinrichtung 10 das untere Ende des Trägerprofils 17 abstützt.The side sectional views FIGS. 5a to 5e illustrate in a second embodiment, the operating principle of the locking block 26 by a stepwise representation of a change in the position 29 of the locking block 26. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment by a support member 48, which supports the lower end of the carrier profile 17 with folded toggle device 10.

In den Figuren 5a bis 5e sind ferner Einzelheiten des Arretierblocks 26 erkennbar. An seiner den Stanzöffnungen 36 zugewandten Rückseite 38 weist der Arretierblock 26 zwei an die Form der Stanzöffnungen 36 angepasste Arretiervorsprünge 40 mit einer Eingriffstiefe 43 auf, welche sich in Figur 5a in Eingriff mit den untersten beiden Stanzöffnungen 36 und damit in der tiefsten einstellbaren Höhenposition des Hubelements 18 befinden. Den Stanzöffnungen 36 abgewandt weist der Arretierblock 26 im Übergang zu seiner unteren Stirnseite 30 eine etwas vorspringende Handhabe 41 für eine bessere Griffigkeit des Arretierblocks 26 für den Benutzer auf.In the FIGS. 5a to 5e Furthermore, details of the locking block 26 can be seen. At its punched openings 36 facing the rear side 38, the locking block 26 has two adapted to the shape of the punch openings 36 locking projections 40 with an engagement depth 43, which in FIG. 5a in engagement with the bottom two punch openings 36 and thus in the lowest adjustable height position of the lifting element 18 are located. Facing away from the punched openings 36, the locking block 26 in transition to its lower end face 30 a slightly projecting handle 41 for a better grip of the locking block 26 for the user.

Die Durchgangsöffnung 28 entspricht im Bereich der oberen Stirnseite 30 weitgehend dem Durchmesser der Kolbenstange 24, mit lediglich dem notwendigen Spiel. Um jedoch ein Verschwenken des Arretierelements 26 um eine horizontale Schwenkachse quer zu der Längsachse 42 der Kolben- und Zylindereinheit 20 in Richtung zu den Stanzöffnungen 36 hin zu ermöglichen, vergrößert sich der Öffnungsquerschnitt der Durchgangsöffnung 28 von der oberen Stirnseite 30, welche rund um die Kolbenstange als Mulde 44 gestaltet ist, zur unteren Stirnseite 30. Die Kontur dieser Mulde 44 kann an die entsprechende Kontur des unteren Endes des Zylinders 22 angepasst sein. Vorzugsweise geht die Durchgangsöffnung 28 von oben nach unten von einer im Wesentlichen Kreisform in eine ovale oder eine Ellipsenform über. Das so vergrößerte Maß der Durchgangsöffnung 28 in Richtung der Arretiervorsprünge 40 ist jeweils auf der Höhe jeder der beiden Arretiervorsprünge 40 größer als deren Eingriffstiefe 43, um durch Schwenken des Arretierblocks 26 von den Stanzöffnungen 36 weg die Arretiervorsprünge 40 aus dem Eingriff mit den Stanzöffnungen 36 zu lösen, vgl. hierzu Figur 5b.The passage opening 28 corresponds to the upper end face 30 largely the diameter of the piston rod 24, with only the necessary clearance. However, in order to enable a pivoting of the locking member 26 about a horizontal pivot axis transverse to the longitudinal axis 42 of the piston and cylinder unit 20 in the direction of the punch openings 36, the opening cross-section of the through hole 28 increases from the upper end side 30, which around the piston rod designed as a trough 44, the lower end face 30. The contour of this trough 44 may be adapted to the corresponding contour of the lower end of the cylinder 22. Preferably, the passage opening 28 is from top to bottom of a substantially circular shape in an oval or elliptical shape over. The thus enlarged measure of the passage opening 28 in the direction of the locking projections 40 is at the height of each of the two locking projections 40 is greater than the engagement depth 43, by pivoting the locking block 26 away from the punching openings 36, the locking projections 40 from the engagement with the punch openings 36 solve, cf. For this FIG. 5b ,

Soll der Arretierblock 26 aus der in Figur 5a gezeigten untersten Position 29 in eine höhere Position 29 verstellt werden, muss zunächst der auf der oberen Stirnseite 30 des Arretierblocks 26 in der Mulde 44 liegende Zylinder 22 angehoben werden. Dies geschieht durch die Pumpbewegung der Kniehebeleinrichtung 10. Sodann kann bei ausgeklappter Kniehebeleinrichtung 10 entsprechend Figur 1 der Arretierblock 26 durch Ergreifen der Handhabe 41 soweit nach fahrzeugaußen geschwenkt werden, dass die Arretiervorsprünge 40 nicht mehr in Eingriff mit den Stanzöffnungen 36 sind, vgl. Figur 5b. Anschließend wird der Arretierblock 26 per Hand auf die Höhe der gewünschten neuen Position 29 verschoben, vgl. Figur 5c. Befinden sich die Arretiervorsprünge 40 im Wesentlichen horizontal vor den dieser Position 29 entsprechenden Stanzöffnungen 36, wird der Arretierblock 26 wieder nach hinten verschwenkt, wo er in die Stanzöffnungen 36 der neuen Position 29 eingreift.If the locking block 26 from the in FIG. 5a shown bottom position 29 are moved to a higher position 29, the cylinder 22 lying on the upper end face 30 of the locking block 26 in the trough 44 must first be raised. This is done by the pumping movement of the toggle lever device 10. Then, in accordance with unfolded toggle device 10 FIG. 1 the locking block 26 are pivoted so far outward of the vehicle by gripping the handle 41 that the locking projections 40 are no longer in engagement with the punched openings 36, cf. FIG. 5b , Subsequently, the locking block 26 is moved by hand to the height of the desired new position 29, cf. FIG. 5c , If the locking projections 40 are located substantially horizontally in front of the punch openings 36 corresponding to this position 29, the locking block 26 is again pivoted backwards, where it engages in the punch openings 36 of the new position 29.

Ein in dem Arretierblock 26 angeordnetes und zugleich unter Reibung gegen die Kolbenstange 24 anliegendes Federelement 46 sorgt für eine Vorspannung derart, dass eine Schwenkbewegung des Arretierelements 26 in Richtung des Eingriffs in die Stanzöffnungen 36 dauernd unterstützt wird. Vor allem dient das Federelement 46 als Reibglied und dosiert die Längsbewegung des Arretierblock 26 längs der Kolbenstange 24. Lässt ein Benutzer während der Höheneinstellung des Arretierblocks 26 diesen beispielsweise aus Versehen los, rutscht dieser nicht unkontrolliert nach unten ab, sondern verbleibt durch das Reibglied 46 in gleicher Höhe.A arranged in the locking block 26 and at the same time abutting against the piston rod 24 with spring element 46 ensures a bias such that a pivoting movement of the locking member 26 in the direction of engagement in the punch openings 36 is supported. Above all, the spring element 46 serves as a friction member and doses the longitudinal movement of the locking block 26 along the piston rod 24. Leaves a user during the height adjustment of the locking block 26, for example, accidentally going on, this does not slide down uncontrolled down, but remains through the friction member 46 in same height.

Gemäß Figur 5e stoppt, bei eingeklappter Kniehebeleinrichtung 10, der Arretierblock 26 den Zylinder 22 im Zuge des erneutem Absenkens des Hubelements 18 bereits in der neu eingestellten, hier höheren Position. Das Dach des Fahrzeugs senkt sich folglich weniger weit und nur soweit ab, bis der Zylinder 22 durch Anliegen in der Mulde 44 des jetzt höher eingestellten Arretierblocks 26 gestoppt worden ist.According to FIG. 5e stops, with folded knee lever device 10, the locking block 26, the cylinder 22 in the course of the renewed lowering of the lifting element 18 already in the newly set, here higher position. The roof of the vehicle consequently lowers less and only so far until the cylinder 22 has been stopped by concerns in the trough 44 of the now higher set locking block 26.
